V1.4 for Web, IOS and Android!

Website version is up-to-date with the mobile platforms

Mates and Tactics puzzles presented in both colors. This is randomly assigned. Also,
the explore mode lets you make any move for both you and your opponent. Lastly, after you have
finished with a mate or tactic, you can review it by single stepping backward and forward.

Chessvis 1.3 out on all platforms.

Defensive Tactics are in production on all platforms -- IOS, Android and Web.
These puzzles have black about to either mate white or win material. With the correct move, white can avoid "disaster".

Also, the determination of which tactic and mate you see next has been changed. Chessvis is now attempting to
determine which problems are harder and easier and based on how well you do on each one determines which one you see next.

Interactive Tactic and MateProblem Exploration is in production on both IOS and Android. Chessvis 1.2 rolls out to both platforms.

Also, the 'keyboard' on the mates and tactics with visualization has been eliminated. It has been replaced
with just tapping on the board where the piece is currently really located and where you want it to go. Much simpler.

Solve 1 to 4 move mates -- Interactively solve thousands of
one to four move mates.

Solve mates but with a twist -- An interesting variation on mate solving
is the "Back it Up - Mates" exercise. This variation shows the same 1 to 4 move mates
but the board on the screen is from some number of moves before the
mate actually starts. You are forced to visualize the board before solving the mates.

Added a page for other chess websites.
